I am sorry, but I need to ask the dumb question...
How does a guy who has been in the organization for 5 years+, one who we all thought of at one time as a possible major leaguer if not superstar and thus SHOULD be getting extra attention from the coaching staff and the special instructors, and hopefully even JUNIOR himself... How does THIS guy show up in the majors with this super long swing and being allowed to decelerate his bat through the strike zone???
Where is the coaching?
And if it not the coaching but instead his lack of maturity or whatever, WHY condone and give the Mariner's approval of his ways by promting him? Are the Mariner's hoping others follow in this guy's footsteps?
If this kid has had any maturation what so ever, you would think it would show up by starting to listen to the coaching staff.
I fully understand there are different hitting styles, but there are certain characteristics of what NOT to do as well... and Triunfel has a couple of them.
